Summer, I am sorry to say, is definitely over & I have had to get serious about posting to Nomadics blog again. So check out the latest posts, as listed below. I also want to announce my new book of essays Justifying the Margins, published over the summer by Salt. I am most happy that it see the light of day, as many of you know the dire financial straights Salt has been in. You can help Salt by doing what their survival campaign suggests, i.e. "Buy just one Book" — & why nor Justifying, this time around? Buying directly from them is also the best way as it cuts out the middleman. Just go the the following url: Justifying the Margins: http://www.saltpublishing.com/books/rec/9781844714346.htm & here the recent posts on NOMADICS (http://pierrejoris.com/blog) That Old New British Poetry Scene Herta Müller Wins 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature Raymond Federman (1928-2009) Ballard, Sinclair, Place & the Novel (Where’s Poetry?)
